The Ukrainian leader has reiterated his threat to destroy border “relay stations” in Belarus
The Ukrainian military will bomb Belarusian communication towers along the 1,000-kilometer border unless President Alexander Lukashenko takes them offline and “proves” to Kiev that he is not aiding Moscow, Vladimir Zelensky said on Sunday.
Belarus, a close Russian ally, has largely stayed out of the Ukraine conflict since 2022, while calling on Moscow and Kiev to engage in dialogue. However, over the past few weeks, Zelensky has been ramping up his rhetoric about an allegedly growing threat posed by Belarus – and has threatened it with a preemptive strike.
“At the intelligence and military levels, Belarus received a message: stop helping the Russians. The issue with the relay stations has been ongoing for a long time,” Zelensky said in a post on X on Sunday, reiterating his claim that the communication towers are being used by Russia to coordinate drone strikes.
